5/10
Misses the mark somewhat

Warning: Spoilers
The first half of this documentary was quite interesting when it was detailing the lives of North Korean leaders, defectors,and life under the regime in general. However, in the second part, they just go off on a tangent about a possible North Korea - USA war that is quite tangential to the plot and in my opinion, is ultimately wasteful(since instead of telling history you are wildly speculating).

It would have been much better had they told more about the country's history and added more context. More archival footage would have been better too. Ultimately, this documentary starts off quick enough, meets the facts but goes into 'what if' scenarios that frankly, bored me.
